Dental Sealants in Everson, WA

Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the deep grooves of molars and premolars. Those grooves trap food and plaque, making them a common spot for decay. A sealant blocks bacteria from settling in, reducing cavity risk significantly on those surfaces.

• Children as soon as first and second molars erupt
  
  
• Teens with deep grooves or a history of cavities
  
  
• Adults who are cavity-prone or have early signs of enamel wear
  

Quick visit, no numbing, no drilling. Most sealant appointments take only a few minutes per tooth.

• Powerful prevention for hard-to-clean grooves
  
  
• Completely painless application
  
  
• Budget-friendly compared to fillings and crowns
  
  
• Long-lasting protection with proper care and checkups
  

Sealants are often paired with routine dental cleanings and periodic dental X-rays to keep teeth healthy and catch issues early.

Our sealant process at Everson Dental Clinic

1. Clean and prep
   We thoroughly clean the tooth surface and isolate it to keep it dry.
   
   
2. Condition and coat
   A gentle gel prepares enamel, then the liquid sealant is brushed into the grooves.
   
   
3. Cure and check
   A special light hardens the sealant within seconds. We check your bite, and you are done.
   

If a cavity is already present, we will recommend a small dental filling first, then consider sealing surrounding grooves to prevent future decay.

You may be a candidate for dental sealants near me if you or your child has:

• Deep pits and fissures in molars
  
  
• New permanent molars coming in
  
  
• A history of cavities or weakened enamel
  
  
• Orthodontic retainers that make cleaning more challenging
